Chapter 972: Chapter 354 How Did the Lando Family of the Outer World Become Like This?_3

Considering the two might be father and son, the thought was somewhat thrilling.

Wayne felt a small sense of pride after successfully showing off in front of unfamiliar acquaintances. He wouldn’t bother doing this with other people, but doing it in front of acquaintances from the Inverted World felt like an achievement.

That’s how you should show off!

Just as Wayne was feeling smug, he noticed that Queen Sophia’s gaze towards him was off. Her face was flushed, her breathing short, clearly ready to devour someone.

No way, I’m your ex-boyfriend’s son!

Sophia from the Outer World wouldn’t stoop this low, Wayne guessed it must be related to negative information. It could have been anyone from the upper-class nobility, perhaps already planning a midnight rendezvous with their father’s ex-girlfriend.

When Wayne caught Sophia’s eye, she swallowed and, still needing to maintain some dignity, feigned nervousness and said, "In the Outer World, there is nothing between us. I’m not your lover, am I right?"

"Not at all."

"..."

Ah, why is it that everyone else is, but not her?

You, a noble, really don’t want to follow in your father’s footsteps...

You must have been a commoner before, lacking depth!

Sophia was full of complaints; her Outer World self was letting her down, not competing for such a strong partner, and she was bound to ruin the nation eventually.

Wayne disdainfully glanced at Sophia and looked toward the last person in the room who hadn’t spoken yet.

Megan.

"You look like a teacher, are you Me..."

"I’m not, I haven’t, and it definitely couldn’t be!"

Megan vehemently shook her head and said fiercely, "The me from the Outer World has nothing to do with you. I’ve been in love with someone else for a long time, and it’s definitely not you."

Aunt Mei, you’re overreacting!

Wayne thought to himself, frustrated, blaming it on the Inverted World for Megan’s misunderstanding.

"Aunt Mei, I’m just curious, have you become the Second Lady of the Lando Family in this world?"

"..."

Everyone looked at Megan and Austin, hearing the implication in Wayne’s words that in the Outer World, there was another Second Lady in the Lando Family.

Megan’s heart raced, "What did you just call me?"

"Aunt Mei, what’s wrong?"

Wayne asked puzzledly, then said, "The teacher is a bit violent, and to take care of Austin’s health and to prevent him from wandering, I call you Aunt Mei when there are many people around; privately, I just call you ’stepmom.’"

How nice!

Megan was extremely envious of her Outer World self, taking a deep breath to suppress her ambitions, "Young Master, can you tell me about the story from the Outer World?"

"There’s a lot to it. In the Outer World, you’ve been with Austin for sixteen years. He knows how you feel but ignores it. I couldn’t stand it and set up several ambiguous situations for you, though in the end, the teacher always let Austin off lightly, but she never made things hard for you..."

Wayne stroked his chin, firmly stating, "Austin is the classic example of a man with desires but no guts, he fell for you a long time ago. He shamelessly won’t admit it, only pretending to be a good husband, waiting for you to burst from repression and make a mistake, so he has an excuse to embrace others."

Hearing this, the corners of Megan’s mouth curved up, and her eyes squinted like crescents.

She was smiling until she remembered this was the Inverted World, Slyphy was already dead, and her dreams could never be realized.

Her smile faded, her expression became gloomy, filled with anger at herself and envy and hatred towards her other self, wishing she lived in the Outer World.

Wayne was like a Devil, stirring everyone up with just a few words.

Austin was watching all this, scoffing repeatedly, "Megan, don’t listen to his nonsense. He just said how good he is at deceiving women."

"What does that mean? Could I possibly deceive ’stepmom’?"

"Heh, you shouldn’t fabricate lies, denying my feelings for Slyphy. That’s the biggest flaw in your pack of lies," Austin continued scoffing.

How cruel, Megan is still here!

Wayne frowned deeply; in the Outer World, even if Austin refused, he would consider Megan’s feelings and never speak such words in front of her.

Seeing Megan expressionless, clearly heartbroken yet still supporting Austin, he felt immensely indignant.

"Austin, in the Outer World, you treat Megan as an indispensable family member. Here in the Inverted World, you disregard her completely. You’ve disappointed me deeply. Take back what you said just now; Aunt Mei will be hurt."

"Young Master, the master he..."

"Aunt Mei, you’re just spoiling him too much, just like in the Outer World. If it weren’t for my help, the Lando Family wouldn’t have an extra mouth to feed this year." Wayne pulled out four twos and slammed them on the table vigorously.

Megan was overwhelmed with joy, and Austin loudly reprimanded, "Nonsense! If you keep denying my feelings for Slyphy, I’ll kill you!"

"Heh, breaking a sweat now?"

"It’s clearly you..."

"Ah right, right, right, I’m talking nonsense, I’ve been lying this whole time. Is that good enough?"

"You still..."

"You see, you’re anxious again!"

Wayne sneered, "If everything I say was a lie, if you feel no guilt, what is there to be anxious about? Explanation is just a cover-up, cover-up confirms the fact. You’re obviously feeling guilty."

"I’m not!"

"You are!"

Wayne was adamantly confident. Ignoring the fact that he lied and spread rumors, there was only him from the Outer World who knew what happened there. Austin, a local, was baselessly accusing him of spouting nonsense; wasn’t this just bullying an honest outsider?

Pah! Locals have such filthy hearts!

Austin trembled with rage, drawing his Twilight Deadlock ready to spill Wayne’s blood, who didn’t panic at all but sighed, "Actually, my being so good at deceiving women is all your influence, Austin. You’re utterly wicked."

"What does that have to do with me?" Austin retorted in anger.

"That Queen over there, weren’t you deceived by her once?"
